Gold Tone GME-5: 5-String Solid Body Mandolin with Gig Bag

The GME-5 expands the traditional mandolin range by adding a low C string, effectively combining the registers of a mandolin and a mandola into one instrument. This extended range opens up new possibilities for chord voicings, melodic exploration, and soloing, making it a versatile choice for adventurous players.

Built with a solid alder body finished in vintage cream gloss, the GME-5 is both durable and visually striking. Its dual-rail mini humbucker provides a powerful, feedback-free signal perfect for live performance. A compensated cast metal bridge ensures precise intonation and string height adjustment, while the slim, radiused maple neck delivers smooth playability. Volume and tone controls give you quick tonal flexibility, and a padded gig bag is included. Also available as a left-handed model.

Best For
Professional mandolinists and crossover players seeking expanded range and electric versatility, especially for jazz, swing, fusion, or modern amplified styles.
